What is the deal with The New York Times and The Bottom Line? Four articles in one week? This is the sort of "flood the zone" coverage we've come to expect from stories about poverty ("The Neediest" series comes to mind), not an aging nightclub in Greenwich Village and its rent problems with New York University. Maybe Bill Keller is a big rock fan.

The Bottom Line shares it's building with my old department at NYU, yet I never went there once. Anyway, here's a timeline of Times coverage (a Timesline, perhaps?):
